    Want to buy a new table saw

    The Ridgid r4512 is the hybrid model with a cast iron table and belt drive. I've had no problems with it. It has a 30inch rip capacity, a built in mobile base, and weighs around 250lbs. It's 549 on Home Depot's website now,

    The Tool Tower

    Your market should be in lean manufacturing shops. You could probably double your price and have the same sales with more profit. Marketing to lean manufacturing consultants/conferences, possibly offering custom solutions, might help you get into the space. Good luck

    Radiant heat insulation

    I'm not sure about foam sheets, but insulation is one job that can sometimes be subbed out for less than or equal to the cost of doing it yourself.

    Layed compressor over, what now?

    Make sure the oil is full. When I laid mine over to get it home from the store it leaked all over. Topped it off and it's fine.

    Cedar or PT Pine Fence Posts???

    Steel posts, when all posts have been changed it will be easy to get new brackets, stringers, and pickets to have a new fence.

    Putting foundation near a retaining wall?

    If you can't build within your normal setback limits, because of a neighbor's wall that doesn't have an easement, you should hire an attorney.

    Reccomened me a Good TIG Welder

    Lincoln squarewave 200 is $1400. Leaves some budget for a bottle, consumables, and safety gear. I don't have any experience with one, but it would be my choice.

    Fixture/jig weld table top

    Drilling after plasma cutting undersize would be tough. Cutting them slightly oversize and tacking a nut to the bottom may be easier.

    Vehicle Oil Changes: Are you a DIY'er?

    Did my first oil change on my wife's Optima today, for the first 30k mi, or 6 changes at the dealers 5k mi interval they did it. I wasn't very happy to find the factory crush washer still painted to the drain plug.

    Pelican 3315 Might be a little big for you. 3AA batteries, led, 113 lumens and durable plastic case. Around $30 I think, mine is issued from work. A push button to turn it on and off.

    Cheap digital calipers vs. Mitutoyo

    In general, the measuring tool needs to be 10 times as accurate as the tolerance. I only trust my mit's and b&s calipers to +/- .005. Even tho I know they are perfect.

    electric bill

    ^ maybe the wife is the one charging a lot of batteries... I'd say they guessed before your last reading. Only two bills isn't enough to notice a pattern.
